My MAC Makeover...

I was lucky enough to receive a MAC gift voucher for my birthday last year as a gift.
I really wanted to keep it for a special occasion to get my make up professionally applied and what better special occasion than my engagement party!?


I booked my appointment a far way in advance to make sure I got the day I wanted and the day arrived and I totted down to my local MAC counter at The Trafford Centre Manchester.


My MUA was so lovely and straight away put me at ease. We discussed what kind of look I wanted to go for and whether it was for a special occasion.


I LOVE the Arab inspired make up looks and so decided to go for this idea for the party. We went for nude and brown tones making the eyes smoky and the lips a gorgeous nude coral.


Overall it took just over an hour. The make up voucher was £25 and for this you get your make up applied and £25 to spend on products from MAC which I must say is a bargain as technically you are getting your make up done for free! LOVE THIS!


I had false lashes applied with my look which are £10 I also bought the lipstick that my MUA used in my look which was £13 and to round the figures up bought a lovely pencil sharperner!


Here is the look!

and finally, my Fiance and I at our party...

Have any you enjoyed the MAC makeover?






Lots of love always

February GlossyBox

Well I have to say Glossy Box have redeemed themselves beautifully this month!


If you are a regular reader of my monthly Glossy Box posts you will know for a few months now I have been disappointed. However!! This months box arrived at the door this morning with some lovely products and most importantly VARIED!


DUWOP Venom Gloss in Buttercup
DR BRONNER Magic Liquid Soap
PAUL MITCHELL Round Trip Curl serum
BM BEAUTY Pure Mineral Eyeshadow in her majesty
COMO SHAMBHLA Invigorate Body Lotion


A lovely selection.... DUWOP gloss has a lovely smell slightly like aniseed
DR BONNER soap is a lovely natural smelling peppermint which turns into a rich thick lather ... PAUL MITCHELL serum smells divine! and COMO SHAMBHLA lotion is a gorgeous uplifting smell which reminds me of one of the Cowshed lotions!




The BM BEAUTY mineral eyeshadow is absolutly stunning... this is a beautiful rose pink colour with gold.... it really is a two toned shadow as you can see in the pictures...

Lots of Love

New Season Fashion...

The high street is awash with gorgeous pastel colours of late, something that really appeals to me. Mainly because it means one thing.... warmer weather! I really can get rather grumpy if I am cold so a bit of sunshine makes me happy!


I am a huge fan of pastel colours in everything, not just fashion. I think they are so girly and flattering that can suit everyone.


Another key colour I have noticed it the rather bright acid yellow. River Island have a number of key pieces to inject a touch of this colour into your outfit, if you are not brave enough to go head to toe in the tangy colour!




Here is a few of my favourites....

River Island £20

River Island £30

River Island £35

River Island £30

I think I will have to be purchasing some of these beautiful pieces!










Lots of Love
